Madrigal Dinner - SUB Ballrooms, MSU

Tickets on sale Nov. 1 for MSU madrigal dinner

Tickets go on sale Nov. 1 for Montana State University School of Music's popular madrigal dinner, which will be held at 6:30 p.m. both Saturday, Dec. 7, and Sunday, Dec. 8, in the ballrooms of MSU's Strand Union Building.

The 48th annual MSU School of Music production transports contemporary guests to a Renaissance feast. Members of the MSU choral groups become knaves and wenches who perform the traditional carols sung for centuries during the 12 days of Christmas.

Paul Birkeland, director of MSU Catering, and his crew will prepare a menu featuring a pork loin dinner or a vegetarian option with all the fixings. The dinner ends with traditional English pudding.

Tickets for the MSU performances are $35, and may be purchased at the Bobcat Ticket Office in the Brick Breeden Fieldhouse. The ticket office is open 9 a.m-5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Parking for ticket buyers is provided in the lot directly below the ticket office. Tickets may also be purchased over the phone (994-CATS) or online at ticketswest.com (search "madrigal dinner"). A convenience fee is required for purchase made online or over the phone. Tickets will be on sale until noon Dec. 5, or until they are all sold.

The dinner will also be held Thursday, Dec. 5, at Bucks T-4 in Big Sky. Tickets for that performance may be purchased by calling the Big Sky Association for the Arts, 995-2742.
